COT Report Nirvana

1. I’ve talked at length about the relationship between US money supply velocity and interest rates, and done so in a positive way.
   
   
2. A modest rise in nominal interest rates encourages banks to make loans, and it makes those loans profitable. Most of the QE money has either just sat in bank coffers, or it has been inefficiently invested in US government bonds.
   
   
3. I’ve strongly suggested that modest nominal rates can reduce real rates, by creating inflation. That’s negative for the US dollar, and positive for gold.
   
   
4. On that note, please click here now. That’s the COT report for the US dollar, released yesterday by the CFTC.
   
   
5. Clearly, the deep pocketed commercial traders (banks with “thundercash”) are building a massive short position in the dollar, probably in preparation for an inflationary rate hike from Janet Yellen, on December 16th.
   
   
6. Please click here now . The COT report for gold is in sync with the report for the dollar. The market-leading banks are buying gold aggressively into the current price weakness, and eagerly booking profits on a lot of short positions.
   
   
7. I suggested shorting some gold in the $1170 area, and with the price about $100 lower now, it’s important for all gold price enthusiasts to be buyers. Short position profits also need to be booked.
   
   
8. It’s a waste of time for amateur investors to read bearish analysis now, while giant banks buy gold with both aggression and size.
   
   
9. The bottom line is that Western gold community investors can feel very comfortable, here and now, with their accumulation of the world’s ultimate asset!
   
   
10. In my professional opinion, Janet Yellen is an “inflationist”. Rather than using aggressive rate hikes to halt inflation, she plans to use very modest rate hikes to increase it.
    
    
11. Please click here now. The COT report for silver is also looking very good, and in an environment where inflation begins to rise, money managers will embrace this mighty metal with open arms.
    
    
12. On the big picture front, China continues to make spectacular progress towards internationalizing the yuan, and making it a key world reserve currency.
    
    
13. Please click here now. It’s important to compartmentalize gold’s price drivers. Many analysts appear to have tried to fit a “love trade circle” into a “fear trade square”.
    
    
14. That can’t work. China’s central bank has a stated goal of internationalizing the yuan, and gold plays a stated role in making that happen. The internationalization of the yuan is clearly good news for gold.
    
    
15. Unfortunately for fear trade enthusiasts, yuan internationalization won’t produce a “gold price parabola”. It will produce modest and sustained upwards price pressure, for many years to come.
    
    
16. Please click here now. That’s the daily gold chart. Note the beautiful position of my 14,7,7 Stochastics series oscillator, as gold glides into key support. I’m an eager buyer, alongside the banks!
    
    
17. The internationalization of the yuan, and the currency's relatively quick ascent to global reserve currency status, should also help turn gold stocks into the world’s most respected equity asset class.
    
    
18. Please click here now. That’s a monthly chart of the Dow. Consistent accumulation of strong assets, on price weakness, creates wealth that is retained during good and bad times.
    
    
19. While I run a highly successful gold-oriented swing trade service at www.guswinger.com, investors should only have a portion of their investable assets devoted to such endeavours. Trading is one part of a complete investment strategy portfolio.
    
    
20. Also, not every market decline is the same. Some are short and violent. Others are Chinese water torture. Some are very modest. It’s difficult to know what form a decline will take when it begins, but professional investors know the decline must be bought.
    
    
21. Amateur investors focus on their drawdowns during the accumulation phase, and professionals focus on the task at hand. For amateur investors that want to take themselves to the professional level, they need to reach deep into themselves, and find a higher level of intestinal fortitude.
    
    
22. I’ll ask all investors in the Western gold stocks community to think hard about that, and to take another hard look at the 10,000 area on my Dow chart. Amateur attempts to avoid drawdowns and pick “final lows” isn’t a proper way to build wealth. It’s financial poppycock. Intestinal fortitude in 2008 at Dow 10,000, and in gold stocks now, is what builds wealth that is here to stay.
    
    
23. On that key note, please click here now. That’s the daily GDX chart. I affectionately refer to my 14,7,7 Stochastics series oscillator as “Tony the Tiger”. Tony looks spectacular right now, and is ready to roar a very loud “Buy!” signal, for all gold stock enthusiasts.
    
    
24. Using Fibonacci retracement lines from the January highs near $23, to the September lows near $13, I’ve set an $18 target, which is the 50% retracement line. Gold stock champions (current and prospective) in the Western gold community should be eager buyers now, ready for mega-bank buying signaled by the COT reports to launch gold and gold stocks nicely higher. In the longer term, the role of gold in yuan internationalization will be one of the key price drivers, of a gold stocks bull era!
